Cost Breakdown: Starting a Feline Family - Newbie's Cat

Initial Expenses

1. Cat Litter Box (4050 RMB)

Bringing a cat into your home means you'll need a proper bathroom for them. A sealed litter box is more effective at masking odors compared to an open one. For kittens, you can remove the top cover for easier access!

2. Cat Carrier (4050 RMB)

Essential for outings, whether it's a trip to the vet, a sunny day out, or any other adventure.

3. Cat Food and Water Bowls (2030 RMB)

Opt for ceramic bowls that are easy to clean, as they are quite affordable. You don't need to buy special pet bowls; regular ones will do just fine.

4. Cat Scratching Post (1020 RMB)

Find a budgetfriendly option on 1688 for just a few dollars. This is where your cat can safely sharpen its claws.

5. Cat Brush (10 RMB)

Get this for just 9.9 RMB with free shipping! It's especially useful for田园 cats that tend to shed less.

6. Nail Clippers (10 RMB)

These are a musthave for trimming your cat's nails, and that's about it. They won't do much else.

7. Cat Toys (1020 RMB)

Your cat will love toys like teaser sticks and laser pointers. They're a great way to keep your feline entertained.

8. Cat Shampoo (2030 RMB)

Use this sparingly, as it's only needed a couple of times a year. A single bottle can last a long time in a singlecat household.

9. Storage Container for Cat Food (30 RMB)

Buy as needed. Some pet parents prefer to stock up on cat food, but if your cat has a habit of biting through bags, this is a necessity. It's also useful for storing large bags of cat food.

10. Cat Vaccination (300400 RMB)

Cats must be vaccinated. It's not just a recommendation; it's a must! Vaccinations are crucial for your cat's health and safety.

11. Spaying/Neutering (400800 RMB)

Neutering male cats is generally cheaper than spaying females. Be aware that some clinics may charge extra for postop antibiotics. It's important to get your cat neutered to prevent unwanted litters and the mess that comes with it!
